If you have the space, some spare time, and a little bit of cash, build a bass trap or two, like rigs. But diffusers? You don't need them, you don't have hundreds of thousands of $$$ worth of mastering gear, and you probably won't be able to figure out the maths to make your system work effectively.

Not directed at you by the way, Rig. More so just speaking from my own personal experience with a tiny, boxy little home-studio.

If you are having problems with excess bass, try plugging the ports on your monitors. This'll reduce the artificially enhanced sub-bass, but it will help to really tighten up your higher-subs and low-mids.

This is typically not recommended. The T/S parameters of the speaker are specifically chosen for the box type they are placed in. Using drivers with Q and Vas measurements suited to a ported box will provide poor results (and often a significant deviation in frequency response) if the box is changed to being sealed.

This side of the room is pretty much done, I think. I may put bass traps in the ceiling and floor corners of that wall, but I'll wait for my sub to arrive before I do it.
